Diversity in Engineering

The College of Engineering wants you to feel valued and welcome. We're committed to creating and sustaining a welcoming environment for all.

Our goal is to create a place where everyone has the opportunity to excel. An academic environment where everyone's contributions and perspectives are respected and valued. A campus community where barriers to respect and collaboration are eliminated.
